Good point. The story is that at the start of the 1978 season Parkin suggested that Hudson should retire after kicking 110 goals in 1977. Hawthorn were belted by North in the 77 PF and Parkin felt that over reliance on a FF made Hawthorn too predictable. Hawthorn won the 78 premiership and Parkin took the same attitude to Carlton.Great post.
Carlton managed 3 flags in 4 years between 1979 and 1982, with no-one kicking more than 61 goals (Ross Ditchburn in 1982). Contrast that to the numbers being posted by Roach, Taylor, Blight, Templeton, Quinlan, etc. David Parkin was ahead of his time!
Hawthorn still had Micheal Moncrieff kicking 90 goals at FF in 1978, so it's not like they played without a FFGood point.

With all due respect, before Parkin came to Carlton the forward line was still only one locked in key forward of Sellers and the other key position could be anyone from week to week. When Jezza was there it was often just rotated. Jezza might play McConville there one week, himself, David McKay, Rod Galt, Percy Jones, Fitzzy or Peter Brown. There was no set same guy at full forward but Sellers was a locked in key forward every week and that was the one constant before Parko was there and in those 81 and 82 premiership years.Good point.

Who?Lets see, from about then onwards you could still have a cracker:
Scarlett
Glass
Ablett
Franklin
Fevola
Cox and Judd
Would stand toe to toe with the best of them I reckon
Genuine question - is centre half forward still a position in the game?
But in both the PF and GF did one of Lynch or Reiwoldt play as the key forward with the other being a decoy?I thought Tom Lynch looked fairly CHFish when he was kicking five v your mob in the Preliminary Final.
then deferring to the deeper forward Jack Riewoldt in the grannie for the workhorse role to help his partner kick 5.
Then again richmonds forward structure is a bit different with Dusty often loitering in the goal square or forward 50 attracting attention being the best 1v1 player stats wise in that area of the field

That's essentially my questionisnt there two key forward? CHf and full forward
Understandable you predicted a tiges poster to bump, you must be very impressed by the tigers spine. One of the best going around.Saw thread bump.
Expected it to be from a Richmond supporter claiming their current spine.
Wasn't disappointed.
Tigers next year

I've followed footbl since 1996. So I can my truly comment from that time onwards. These are the best two spines by some fare length. Pretty close.

the later 3 had injuries that either finished their careers early (Jackovich & Lyon) or severely cut down their career (Schwarz) and Neitz was a better CHB but had to go forwardNeitz, Schwarz, Lyon and Allen Jakovich... WTF happened ???
